Game 12 of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2023) is likely to be a fireworks display. The Chennai Super Kings take on the Mumbai Indians on Saturday 8th April 2023. The game will be played at Wankhede Stadium. The MI vs CSK is always an interesting game to watch till the finish.
The five-time champions Mumbai Indians are aiming for their first win of the IPL2023 season.
The Chennai Super Kings, the four-time champions led by MS Dhoni, managed to win just one game and look forward to winning that game to advance in the tournament. Rohit Sharma’s men will continue to pressure in front of their fans at the Wankhede Stadium. Mumbai Indians are on a week’s rest after a disappointing loss in their opening game against Royal Challengers Bangalore. Chennai captain MS Dhoni had previously warned the young duo of Rajvardhan Hangargekar and Tushar Deshpande for playing alongside and losing balls. With Wankhede being a famous playground, their inexperience could turn to Sharma’s side’s advantage.

All eyes will be on Rohit Sharma as the captain hasn’t scored many goals this season.
The bowling side will decide the match result
Moeen Ali and Mitchell Santner’s bowling attack could fundamentally change the Whistle Poduteam.
In a small area with short side edges like Jofra Archers bowls hold the key to MI like Arshad Khan, Cameron Green could be lambs to slaughter in the form of Ruturaj Gaikwad or Devon Conway. If we look at the last two games, Captain Dhoni and Ambati Rayudu also hit key intersections. Making them look like a better punch combination than MI.
Mumbai Indians have won 5 times the IPL championship. CSK has won 4 times the IPL championship.
